Lipoprotein(a), platelet function and cardiovascular disease
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is associated with atherothrombosis through several mechanisms, including putative antifibrinolytic properties. However, genetic association studies have not demonstrated an association ...

Coronary computed tomography angiographic detection of in-stent restenosis via deep learning reconstruction: a feasibility study
Evaluation of in-stent restenosis (ISR), especially for small stents, remains challenging during computed tomography (CT) angiography. We used deep learning reconstruction to quantify stent strut thickness and...

The contribution of amyloid deposition in the aortic valve to calcification and aortic stenosis
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and stenosis have a complex pathogenesis, and no therapies are available that can halt or slow their progression. Several studies have shown the presence of apolipoprotein-...

Open AccessMulti-center retrospective cohort study applying deep learning to electrocardiograms to identify left heart valvular dysfunction
Aortic Stenosis and Mitral Regurgitation are common valvular conditions representing a hidden burden of disease within the population. The aim of this study was to develop and validate deep learning-based scre...

Open AccessGlycemic control is independently associated with rapid progression of coronary atherosclerosis in the absence of a baseline coronary plaque burden: a retrospective case–control study from the PARADIGM registry
The baseline coronary plaque burden is the most important factor for rapid plaque progression (RPP) in the coronary artery. However, data on the independent predictors of RPP in the absence of a baseline coron...

Open AccessSaphenous vein valve assessment utilizing upright CT to potentially improve graft assessment for bypass surgery
Saphenous veins (SVs) are frequently employed as bypass grafts. The SV graft failure is predominantly seen at the valve site. Avoiding valves during vein harvest would help reduce graft failure. We endeavored ...
